Precise and pure sound - from the very first note!Drawing inspiration from a legacy of personal audio reproduction, Sony engineers have combined: a solid, thoughtfully designed aluminum structure with lush, ergonomic and enfolding comfort, and ultra-responsive high-resolution audio performance; in pursuit of extended listening sessions bar-none. Introducing the MDR-Z7 Hi-Res Stereo Headphone.

Wide, natural soundfieldAs if you were listening to your favorite music without headphones. Unlike the smaller drivers found in other headphones, that create tight, spherical waveforms, 70 mm ALCP Film driver units deliver detailed, natural and pleasing planar sound waves with all the atmosphere of the original recording.

Balanced Audio CapableAs with a home stereo, for best performance, you generally connect the amplifier to a pair of speakers. For the ultimate headphone experience, similar dedicated left and right channel audio output is required. Simply connect the supplied Balanced Audio Cables to the headphones and plug into a compatible, balanced audio amplifier (PHA-3 for example) and prepare yourself for pure, unadulterated sound.

Comfortable fit, powerful soundPressure-relieving urethane cushions with 3D-sewn covers, wrap entirely around your ears for a comfortable acoustic seal and powerful bass response, while precise component machining, with the added placement of silicon rings around every moving axis, realizes smooth and silent earcup movement. In the end, you can expect an immersive listening experience.
